Warning:  Spoilers for Hierarchy Series!

Hierarchy’s opening episode shows the elite private school Jooshin Academy in Korea, where no one can question elite families’ kids. The series explores the sensitive topics of power dynamics, roughhousing, and bullying, these four kids Kim Ri-an, Jung Jae-i, Lee Woo-jin, and Yoon He-ra were considered royalties and too powerful. culminating in the brutal death of a 17-year-old student.

This story moves around Jae-i and Ri-an the two wealthiest students at Jooshin Academy and Kang Ha, a scholarship student at Jooshin High, determined to avenge his late brother Kang In-han’s death. 

Kang Ha learns that In-han (his twin brother) faced massive bullying by the richest kids at school. Kang Ha attempts to gather evidence to find the real cause behind his brother’s death.  His brother’s death was a hit-and-run case.

Kang Ha, who slowly starts liking Jae-i, admits that he is at Jooshin Academy seeking revenge and justice for his fraternal twin brother, In-han. He came to Jooshin to find out what happened the night of In-han’s death. This truth shakes Jea-i. 

In-han was also a scholarship student at the school. He was brutally bullied by other rich students because Jea-i offered him her friendship. 

Hierarchy brings viewers into a world where teenage relationships are treated as extensions of parents’ business dealings. Like Penthouse, the heir, boys over flowers, high society, and many others like this.

Well, we all find out who was behind the wheel It is Ji-soo (the most annoying character in this series) one of the teachers at Jooshin Academy, who is sleeping with one of her teenage students, Woo-jin. She is the most cringe-worthy character at the same time.

In-han caught them two making out in a hallway while trying to escape his bully classmates, Ji-soo and Woo-ji chase him and then Ji-woo who was driving thr in Woo-jin’s family car hit him and left In-han to die. She is the worst teacher any school can have.

The writer of Hierarchy wants the audience to believe that Jae-i and Ri-an have learned to accept responsibility after Kang Ha arrives at the school. 

But if the death of a fellow student did not shake their world. Than what? Jae-i was sad because she thought she was the bad news for Ri-an, not because her class fellow/friend died or Kang Ha’s presence in the school.

Hierarchy ends with some good and some unfinished work. Maybe we will get the season 2.
